Congressman crisp's Critic.

The Philadelphia Press calls Congressman
Crisp's reference. at the Columbus, Ga.)
banquet last Wednesday night, TO the re-
ported appearance of an heir at the White
House, another Democratic blunder," and
says that lit has long been apparent that
the Democracy was banking more upon Mr..
Cleveland's marriage as a means of increas-
ing his popularity among the people than
upon the carrying out of any particularly
wise and sagacious national policy. The
broad grin of satisfaction that suffused the
faces of the Democrats last year when rumor
ripened into certainty and marriage in the
White House was officially announced has
not yet disappeared. No one imagined, how
ever, that such an offensive exhibition of a
party's effort TO make political capital out of
n matrimonial affair would be given as Con-
gresham Crisp lent himself tor
1t is difficult to see what Congressman
Grips action on the occasion referred to has
to do with the Democratic party. The BAN
quet in question was not political in its
character. Congressman Crisp said what
he did as citizen, not as politician nor as
Democrat. He thought the report about
the White House affair was true and felt
that he was justified in making the allusion
to it that he did. Being a comparatively
young man, and a very bright and enthusi-
astic one it was natural that the report that
an event calculated TO make the Chief Mag
istrate Of the nation happy had occurred,
should have been looked upon by him as an
occasion for rejoicing. He is not to blame
for the falsity of the report.
The Press is mistaken if it thinks the
Democracy is banking upon the Presidents
marriage. The Presidents straightforward
way of doing things, and his entire freedom
from false pretenses of any kind are what
command the peoples respect Even the lead
ing Republican organ, the New York Tn
buHe, was forced to commend him a day or
two ago for his speech at the unwilling of
the Garfield statue Such broad and lib
eral views are not heard from prominent
Republican leaders as were expressed in
that speech.
The Press ought to read again the veto of
the dependent pension bill and the Guilford
Miller letter before insinuating that the
Presidents popularity depends upon his
marriage rather than upon efforts to pro-
mote the peoples interests. Doubtless the
Press can see nothing good in the President
because its friends, the railroad land grab
bers and the pension claim agents, have suf-
fered at his hands

The Rules for Promotion,

The Civil Service Commission gives the
President the credit for the new civil ser
vice rules which require that promotions in
the service shall be based on fitness rather
than on favor. The Republicans, of course,
object to the new rules, and claim that the
purpose of them is to get rid of Republican
clerks and make places for Democrats. This
claim has no foundation.T The Republican
clerks are afraid that many of their number
will not be able to pass the examinations to
which they will be subjected, and that is
the reason they are showing so much oppo-
sition to the new rules.
Those who are oftenest promoted now are
those who know how to play the part of a
courtier, or who have friends in places of in
fuence and favor. The really meritorious
clerks, unless they are in favor with their
chiefs, or have powerful friends, stand little
chance for advancement
Those who know most about geography,
grammar and arithmetic are not the ones
who will be promoted unless they have other
qualifications to commend them. The ex-
aminations are intended as test of intelli-
gence rather than of fitness for the better
places. The clerks who are punctual and
industrious, and who understand how to
perform the duties required of them, even
if they are not well versed in grammar
and arithmetic, will be preferred to college
graduates who lack application and show
neither taste nor inclination for their work.
In brief, the rules are intended to secure for
the government the best men that can be
obtained The President seems to think
that the common sense which a merchant
exercises in choosing his clerks should be
exercised in choosing clerks for the govern
ment The people can hardly find fault
with the President in managing the affairs
of the government in that way,
